I am so excited that my short story “The Monster & Mrs. Blake” is a Featured Story on Wattpad this week!

This story is suitable for all ages, would make a great PIXAR movie, and was originally meant to be read aloud as a podcast, so I highly encourage you to read it aloud to your children. Preferably before they go to bed tonight. 🙂

Click here, or on the cover illustration at the right to read the story (for free!) on Wattpad.

As always, PLEASE ENJOY AND SHARE!

And yes, my memory of this Far Side comic was indeed one of the inspirations for the story:

Episode 21: In Which Princess Alethea Rants about the Grimms’ fairy tale “Sweetheart Roland”…a title which is annoying in itself, since this fairy tale isn’t even *about* Roland. It’s about the girl who loves him.
